The neck is looking lovely.

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1495978948' post='3307879'] I used to love that Jonas Hellborg book. You've got me wondering what happened to it... [/quote] No idea what happened to mine either. I am happy to rebuy the same book but just thought I would see if there are any more recent comprehensive alternatives. Happy for more recommendations if anyone has any. Cheers

Hi ladies and gents, Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on the best/highly recommended bass chord books out there on the market right now. Many years ago I had a copy of the Chords Bassics book by Jona Hellborg which I remember being (just) ok but just curious if there is a specific book that offers more. Thanks in advance

That bass is just stunning. I have been hankering for an exact spec bass for a long while now and having seen how amazing this looks has made me want one even more. Shuker website, here I come.

"Why don't you just go back into the cellar and go back to make lots of noise and dust! ANYTHING would be better than seeing your stupid face gawping everywhere!!!" The luminlay side dots are in. There are cheaper alternatives (and it's a bit of a bind having to order direct from Japan), but the ease of fitment with the neat outer sheath and easy, chip-free sawing makes such a difference. Basically, it's drill the hole; drop of cyano; press the stick in; cut flush: The are neat and great both in daylight and in the dark. Here they are fitted - I've gone for the 5mm ones up to the body join: ...and 3mm where the fretboard is flat against the body top: That's another job crossed off the 'to-do' list [/quote] Absolutely loving watching your work come along. Out of interest, do you think it would be possible to retrofit an existing neck with these luminlay side dots?

+1 on the LS2. I use mine for exactly the same application.

I remember buying an EHX Memory Boy Deluxe from there about a year ago. Pretty sweet deal on the whole price:delivery time ratio as far as I recall. Not used them since though.

Similar to Japhet, I like to keep things neat and tidy with lengths of my choosing. I originally went for the Planet Waves Solderless offering and my honest opinion is that they are just OK, if a bit bulky (and balky for that matter). More recently I went down the George L route and these make me one happy pedal-stomping camper. The cable is nice and flexible and the jacks are compact enough. Would recommend them.

Delay and ummmm, another delay.

Just got back from a 300km round trip to buy Pete's Markbass 104 HF. It was an absolute pleasure to deal with Pete. Great communication throughout, really helpful and decent chat upon meet up. The cab was exactly as described and now I cant wait to give it a blast [b]100%[/b] recommended Basschater. Thanks again Pete and good luck with the music.

Can't wait to give it a whirl in a bigger space where my mic' won't pic up the amp signal and give crazy pitch shift feedback. [/quote] Really digging this...
